There are many reasons to create and maintain a vibrant hospital
To educate.
"My outreach experience at Rice Regional Dental Clinic has been one of the most valuable clinical experiences of my dental school education. The quantity of patients that I was able to see in one day at Rice was equal to almost a week at the university.
"This helped me to grow in confidence as a dental student, but it also gave me a good perspective of the amount of patients that are in need of dental care in rural Minnesota. My experience in Willmar has reinforced my decision to practice in a rural setting."
- Jacob Barthold
Rice Regional Dental Clinic quietly provides state-of-the-art dental care to the underserved and uninsured. In just over three years, the clinic has significantly increased access to dental care in our rural region.
Nearly 5,000 patients of all ages, ethnicities and circumstances received care from future practicing dentists, dental hygienists, and dental therapy students. A win for the community, and a win for present and future healthcare.
This is just one example of how your gifts to the foundation help educate Rice patients, providers, staff, and future healthcare workers.
The most important reason is what it could mean to you and yours.
